This also tells us that if a system tempers out the diaschisma, it has an interval that is equal to exactly half of an octave‚ namely the tempered 45/32 tritone. Thus all edos (such as [[12edo]], [[22edo]], [[34edo]] and [[46edo]]) and MOS scale structures (such as the MOS scales of [[diaschismic family|diaschismic]] and [[pajara]]) that temper out the diaschisma split the octave into two equal parts; in particular, all diaschismic edos are even-numbered edos. | This also tells us that if a system tempers out the diaschisma, it has an interval that is equal to exactly half of an octave‚ namely the tempered 45/32 tritone.
